Game-based Approach Workshops

Over the past three seasons Leinster Rugby have collaborated with St Mary’s University, Twickenham, to offer a bespoke professional learning program to school and club based coaches from across the Province.

Stage 3 Coaching Course

Stage 3 coaching focuses on players aged 16-18 and adult junior players. The game evolves during this stage as the performance of individual players, units and the team as a whole is challenged via structured methods with emphasis placed more so on maximising development in the pursuit of achieving desired outcomes and results.

Stage 2 Coaching Course

The age-grade of players in this category is from U13-U15. During this stage of coaching, players learn to explore through the game. Coaches teach rather than guide during this level as players at this age-grade. Whilst the game is still fun and safe at this stage, it moves from open play to a more structured format to introduce basic units of play.
